[bestbits] [governance] Call for making the IGF permanent

[Stephanie Perrin]

thanks, I was going to propose everyone join an IGF accountability 
project, and we find funding for it.  I think government could be a good 
target for funds for that....or business.  Happy to pass the hat.  We do 
need it, but the IGF is at too immature a maturity level at the 
moment....needs a longer mandate and stable funding to get to the next level
Cheers, Stephanie
